I think the key thing is to acknowledge where you got those ideas from – that’s very much part of the culture of blogging. People only get pissed off when you pass off their work as your own.

This is turning out to be an interesting study into the minds of other bloggers. As I previously mentioned I would be creating a blog of my own in the near future, and looking into different ways that may affect my readership levels. My main concern is to have people coming back, but to have that happen I would need to have content that makes them want to come back. I never thought of using other peoples work from twitter, or any other micro blogging methods to generate ideas. I thought people might frown upon it for using their information and putting my own spin on it. I am going to keep reading till the end of this discussion!

That's a very good point. I'll try to look at the finance data specifically and put together something further.

I found Facebook particularly useful in creating a group which then becomes part of the newsgathering process – plan to blog more about that when I get the time.
